Volvo is back in the wagon business with the V60, a premium midsize offering with unexpectedly sleek styling and snappy performance.

What's New for 2015

The 2015 V60 is an all-new model.

Choosing Your Volvo V60

Front-drive models receive Volvo’s new Drive-E engine, a 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 240 horsepower, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive V60 comes with a pair of carryover engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbo with 240 horsepower and an optional 325-horsepower 3-liter V6 turbo. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic with manual shift feature.

Front-Wheel Drive

All-Wheel Drive

Trim levels are broken out according to drivetrain:

T5 Drive-E

The front-drive V60 carries the Drive-E engine, plus features such as automatic wipers and headlights, a sunroof, power front seats with driver memory, fabric upholstery, power-folding rear headrests, Bluetooth phone and audio, and an eight-speaker sound system with CD, a USB interface, and satellite and HD radio.

T5 AWD

Comes with all-wheel drive and the 2.5-liter engine. All other equipment and options are identical to the T5 Drive-E, except lane-keeping assist is not available.

T6 AWD R-Design

Gets the 3-liter V6 and its own sport-tuned suspension, plus the Premiere Plus content as standard. All other options and trim packages continue.

Some features found in the option packages, such as navigation and upgraded wheels, can be added separately to any V60. Other standalone options include a rear-seat entertainment system, built-in child booster seats and an automated parallel parking system.
